As has been alluded many times in other posts, is it possible to have the STS update process (for example updating from STS 2.9.0 to STS 2.9.1) using the "Help/Check for update" update everything (in the 2.9.1 case, update tc Server to 2.6.4) as if I downloaded a new 2.9.1 release and unzipped it into a fresh directory. In previous cases, such an update would bring STS up to date but not all the other components that get distributed into the full ZIP file available from the STS download page. I understand this is not a trivial task but could this be started with the idea to eventually have it available. It would even be good if the first release of this did not cover 100% of the dependencies as long as they were described.

Thanks for the feedback, this would definitely be a nice feature. I will add this to our backlog for further investigation. But regarding our current workload, I think we will not be able to do this for the 3.0 release timeframe. I hope this doesn't disappoint you, but I thought to be open and transparent here is better than promising everything. But I agree that we should definitely take a look at this!

Hi,
I've just installed the springsource tool suite (Version: 2.9.1.RELEASE, Build Id: 201203221000) on a Windows7 machine and tried to create a Spring-Roo project, but I'm getting Maven-related problems, such as:
Access denied to http://maven.springframework.org/rel...plugin-1.2.pom. Error code 403, Proxy Configuration required
I am working behind a firewall, but have added proxy settings to both the IDE itself (window > preferences > general > network connections) and to the maven settings.xml file ( in: springsource\apache-maven-3.3.3\conf).
If I try to browse to the above URL (using firefox), I get an HTTP 404: Could not find resource
Any help would be much approciated.
Cheers,
Stephen.

Your proxy settings sound correct to me, but I don't know exactly where Maven is picking up all the settings all the time. I also see sometimes a settings.xml file in the users repository location, but I am not sure its the problem in your case.

Can you provide steps to reproduce this? Or maybe a sample Roo project that you created and that has this problem?

Hi Martin

I've checked the maven repository and there is no settings file there. To reproduce this, simply install the tool suite on a win7 machine (I did do this in 'Documents' not 'Program files'), then create a new Roo project with some arbitrary name. I just added a project name and top-level package name and used the defaults for the rest. The problem occurs as soon as the project is created.

I tried this on my win7 box and creating a Roo project works nicely. But I am not behind a firewall here, so it looks definitely like your problem is related to the firewall settings somehow.

Can you build the project from the command line using Maven? (just to check whether the Maven proxy settings are correct and working)

Hi Martin,

I also tried the whole set-up again on a different win7 box from home (i.e. no firewall) and it worked fine, so there is definitely a proxy issue. How do you 'build the project from the command line using Maven' ?
